CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0072153, filed on Jun. 22, 2018, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to a condensed cyclic compound and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that produce full-color images, and also have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms of brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, compared to devices in the art.

An example of such organic light-emitting devices may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transit from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

In one embodiment, the condensed cyclic compound may be selected from Compounds A1 to A119 and B1 to B119, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto:

The condensed cyclic compound includes a heterohelicene moiety represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2. Therethrough a π conjugation system is long, and thermal and charge resistance thereof are excellent, thereby exhibiting a long lifespan, and since a plurality of heteroatoms are included in the heterohelicene moiety, hole transport capability can be improved.

In addition, since the condensed cyclic compound includes the condensation moiety, the symmetry and crystallinity of the whole molecule are deteriorated, thereby improving the film characteristics.

Even when a condensed dibenzofuran (or dibenzothiophene, dibenzosilole) moiety is included as above, if the condensation moiety of the present disclosure is not included, the planarity of the whole molecule becomes too high to improve the crystallinity, the distance between molecules is shortened, the transfer of holes is slowed, resulting in poor luminescent efficiency.

In addition, the condensed cyclic compound limits the heteroatom included in the heterohelicene core to O, Si, or S. Thus, as compared with the case of including N as the heteroatom, excellent carrier balance can be provided, thereby improving the device efficiency.

In addition, the condensed cyclic compound essentially includes a linker between a group represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 and an amine group. In a case where no linker is included and thus the amine group is directly linked to a group represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2, the distance between three aryl groups linked to the nitrogen atom is excessively close. Thus, the stability of molecule is deteriorated, and a three-dimensional structure capable of distorting three aryl groups is taken so as to solve a three-dimensional electronic repulsion. Thus, since HOMO orbital distribution becomes narrow, the efficiency and lifespan of the device are deteriorated.

In addition, since the condensed cyclic compound includes the amine group represented by Formula 2, it can be applied as a hole transport material having a long lifespan due to the aryl group having strong electron resistance, and the condensed cyclic compound limits the substitution position of the amine group to the terminus of the heterohelicene core. When the amine group is substituted at not the terminus of the core but the central site, the heteroatoms in the heterohelicene are directed toward the core of the whole molecule, and the interaction between molecules becomes weak. Thus, the hole transport capability is hardly increased, and in the HOMO orbital, the electron distribution of the core is excessively large. Thus, the contribution to the condensed cyclic compound of the amine group is relatively reduced. Consequently, it is difficult to exhibit characteristics arising from the amine group.

Furthermore, the carbazole group is not included in the terminus of the core of the condensed cyclic compound. If the carbazole group is included in the condensed cyclic compound, resulting that hole transport capability is not sufficient, and a three-dimensional structure in which the molecule is excessively distorted as a whole is taken. Thus, the compound becomes unstable in a radical state, and thus the efficiency and lifespan of the device using the compound are all deteriorated.

Therefore, an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, which includes the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1, may have a low driving voltage, high efficiency, and a long lifespan.

A synthesis method for the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 would be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by referring to the following examples.

At least one condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be used between a pair of electrodes constituting an organic light-emitting device. For example, the condensed cyclic compound may be included in at least one selected from a hole transport region and an emission layer. In one or more embodiments, the condensed cyclic compound of Formula 1 may be used as a material for a capping layer located outside a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device.

For example, the organic light-emitting device may have i) a stacked structure including a first electrode, an organic layer, a second electrode, and a second capping layer which are sequentially stacked in this stated order, ii) a stacked structure including a first capping layer, a first electrode, an organic layer, and a second electrode which are sequentially stacked in this stated order, or iii) a stacked structure including a first capping layer, a first electrode, an organic layer, a second electrode, and a second capping layer which are sequentially stacked in this stated order, and at least one selected from the first capping layer and the second capping layer may include the condensed cyclic compound.

Accordingly, provided is an organic light-emitting device including: a first electrode, a second electrode facing the first electrode, and an organic layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, the organic layer including an emission layer and at least one condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1.

The expression “(an organic layer) includes at least one of the condensed cyclic compounds” used herein may include a case in which “(an organic layer) includes identical condensed cyclic compounds represented by Formula 1” and a case in which “(an organic layer) includes two or more different condensed cyclic compounds represented by Formula 1.”

For example, the organic layer may include, as the condensed cyclic compound, only Compound A1. In this regard, Compound A1 may exist in a hole transport layer of the organic light-emitting device. In one or more embodiments, the organic layer may include, as the condensed cyclic compound, Compounds A1 and Compound A2. In this regard, Compound A1 and Compound A2 may exist in an identical layer (for example, Compound 1 and Compound 2 may all exist in a hole transport layer), or different layers (for example, Compound 1 may exist in an emission layer and Compound 2 may exist in a hole transport layer).

According to one embodiment,

the first electrode of the organic light-emitting device may be an anode,

the second electrode of the organic light-emitting device may be a cathode,

the organic layer of the organic light-emitting device may further include a hole transport region between the first electrode and the emission layer and an electron transport region between the emission layer and the second electrode,

the electron transport region may include an electron transport region including at least one layer selected from a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.

In one or more embodiments, the hole transport region may include the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1.

In one embodiment, the hole transport region may include: a first hole transport layer disposed between the first electrode and the emission layer; and a second hole transport layer disposed between the first hole transport layer and the emission layer, and

In one or more embodiments, the hole transport region may include: a first hole transport layer disposed between the first electrode and the emission layer; a second hole transport layer between the first hole transport layer and the emission layer, and

the second hole transport layer may include the condensed cyclic compound.

In one embodiment, the emission layer may include a host and a dopant, and the dopant may be a fluorescent dopant or a phosphorescent dopant. For example, the host may include an anthracene-based compound, a pyrene-based compound, a fluoranthene-based compound, a chrysene-based compound, a dihydrobenzanthracene-based compound, a triphenylene-based compound, and any combination thereof.

At least one layer selected from the electron transport layer and the electron injection layer may include an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali metal compound, an alkaline earth-metal compound, a rare earth metal compound, an alkali metal complex, an alkaline earth-metal complex, a rare earth metal complex, or any combinations thereof.

For example, the organic light-emitting device may further include i) at least one second emission layer for emitting a second color light or ii) at least one second emission layer for emitting the second color light and at least one third emission layer for emitting a third color light, between the first electrode and the second electrode, a maximum emission wavelength of the first color light, a maximum emission wavelength of the second color light, and a maximum emission wavelength of the third color light may be identical to or different from each other.
